What if mother does not want child support or father to parental rights?

Answer 1

If she did so with a judge, she can still refile later, but not for retroactive. If it was not before a judge, than a mother can wait up to 23 years to file for up to 18 years of retroactive child support, depending on the state, and rehardless of any previous claim. see links below

Answer 2

Each state has their own way of handling paternity, but in Indiana (and probably most other states) the father can petition for paternity, and then file for custody, child support, and parenting time.

Basically, if the father wants to be a part of his child's life - then he has a legal right to pursue paternity and secure his parental rights. You can throw up some legal roadblocks to make things more difficult for him, but you do so at the potential risk of losing some parental rights if the court finds that you have been acting maliciously.

Unless you have concrete reasoning for wanting the dad out of the picture - try to rethink your approach and consider that maybe the child wants to know his/her dad. I know that this reasoning is sometimes blurred and blown out of proportion when in the midst of a custody dispute, but life will be easier for everybody involved if both parents can work together for their child.

I should know since I have been the father in this type of situation. I now have joint legal custody and have my boy every single weekend.
